Propylaeum

The civil vici show different characteristics in building forms and settlement structures in the western provinces than those in the eastern provinces. Pannonia had to be of special importance as a link. Here one finds rather village settlements with strong pre-Roman roots next to the "traditional" small-town settlements.
Based on the results of the numerous recent excavations, this study sheds light on the role of the Zivilvici in the economic life of the province, the characteristics of building and settlement structure or their social composition. With regard to the Romanisation process, the survival of various pre-Roman elements in the vici and the changes in pre-Roman settlement structures were also investigated.
